Southwestern Black Bean Lunch

We are a bean-loving crew! Kid cleaned this plate. I typed the recipe below, though I didn't measure carefully while cooking, so the amounts may not be precise (beans are forgiving, so it probably doesn't matter).

In a large pot, saute onion in a drizzle of olive oil until translucent, then add peppers, carrots, and fresh tomatoes. Saute another ten minutes or until vegetables are beginning to soften, then add spices and stir to coat.

Add beans, cooking liquid, canned tomatoes, salt, and garlic, and simmer until flavors are blended and vegetables are cooked tender, about 10 minutes.
